For someone who was up-n-at-em before 3AM, it sure took me a long time to post this week's give-away! I was waiting for good photo daylight, and with heavy cloud cover, and snow falling now, it's as bright as it's gonna get and these photos will have to do.

This week's whimsy is a book cord, a spirit cord for marking pages in a book, spun in a sacred manner, this time with PEACE in my heart. I've been using these cords for years to mark pages, especially in my Book of Mirrors (journal, if you prefer) and my Book of Shadows (my book of spirit, rite and ritual).

Ooohhh I get to be first! Hmmm, plans for peace in the new year. I'm planning on reconnecting with the nature spirits all around me and they always instill a sense of peace in me. The peace of trees especially.

Oh I love it!! I just found this place, and peace and fairies are what it is all about!! oh, that next year will be just that...Can you imagine!! I am going to recharge my sense of peace daily, nature is the best energy there is...and hope to give it away in smiles, and the inner security of PEACE.I thank you for this site that I just happened upon today! What a great end to the year, and what a new beginning to dwell on!Thanks!!

what a beautiful place marker!...wouldn't it look nice in one of my books?!.....

As for plans of peace....I love the concept of peace but,as a bustle-y kind of person, I find peace is something that comes sandwiched between slices of stressful chaos + joyous activity. I guess peace for me is knowing that peace is one part of the balance of my life, being in it when it's with me + knowing it will come again when it's not on the current horizon...

I was just stopping by to grab your blog link so I could let my friend know who I purchased that fabulous peace sign drawing from for Christmas and saw is was Win a Whimsy Wednesday. This is gorgeous! Please count me in, thanks!

My plans for peace are never changing, basically living the creed in all I do and giving as much as I can to others through encouragement and gratitude.

Peace-ful New Year to you also, as for plans for Peace, holding that space deep within, as within so without being the aim. Journaling, hmm perhaps blogging, about my thoughts and experiences with peace to be sure it remains a focus. I have much enjoyed your own focus upon the topic Rose, as always Thank you for the gift of you!!! and count me in, shes beautiful!!!

Awwwww,little green faerie of peace is beautiful. I really need more peace in my world. If should be the lucky winner I would make it a ritual to honor her everyday and ask for more Peace in my world...it will help my loved one too.Peace and Love, ArteDaroxox

How pretty! You always come up with lovely items.I think that in 2009 im going to work on the inner peace aspect of my life. Im going to try to make time to knit more, write daily, and cook all the time! (i get a kitchen of my very own this year!)peace,em

I plan on connecting more with Mother Earth, and connecting more with the Craft itself as unfortunately I've spent little time on it this past month...and the Goddess has really been looking out for us during the year too. She deserves better.

Ah, Peace...what a beautiful thought!!! and awesome piece!! Love her!!For me and the new year, I wish for peace within my family (I have a 15 y/o and she can be bit of a handful!), peace for my patients that suffer so and peace for me. I seem to be a bit lost and need to regroup and find me again in a place of peace. Peace to you and yours!!!

I plan to find peace of mind in a life released from clutter and unnecessary baggage.

I plan to bring peace to my spirit by distinguishing between what is truly important and what is just a momentary bleep on my radar (i.e.- do I really need to buy that? Will I be happy in 5 minutes?)

I plan to create peace by setting my SMART goals and changing my life- increasing my business income and improving my methods, decreasing expenses and allowing myself to relax.

I plan to bring peace to my family by giving myself permission to pamper myself and destress.

I plan on aiding peace in my community by providing regular donations to the soup kitchen, assisting children and individuals as I can and by encouraging those who are still buying, to buy from local and/or small business and improve our local economy.

She's beautiful and would make a great addition to my growing book pile next to my bed. I am at some stage of reading in all of them and have scrap paper marking most of my places. Peace - I'm making in my heart by practicing to let it slide off - the bad vibes that is.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that! I really want to win it! I have a little fairy of my own, her name is Guinevere but we call her Pixie and we have another baby on the way (our 4th child) and if it is a girl her name will be Willow Fae! Now I totally have to check out your shop!

Happy New YearHylamyfairybabies.etsy.comhttp://greenearthjourney.blogspot.com

Ah Rose you make such wondrous whimsies...I just started my very first moleskine art journal; wouldn't she be a sweet keeper of my place in the book?Every day for me is an exercise in keeping the peace: between myself and the husband, the oldest son and the youngest, the two cats. We study the fine art of forgiveness at close range. Working toward a masterPeace, every day.Thank you for all you are my friend.bright blessings in 2009!

My plan for peace in 2009 is to find peace with myself. I am certainly hardest on myself in every aspect...but that will soon change - each day it changes for the better!What a beautiful bookmark - and I just received the most beautiful journal from my sister - it would be perfect in it!Have a fabulous 2009 filled with peace, love and lots & lots of happiness! <3

First, that is a lovely whimsy you made! I love green. It is a very nice alternative to the ribbon bookmarks I have in my BOS.

Good choice for the contest! Hmm..my plan(s) for peace in this coming year would be, I would say, to keep on doing what I have been. Know when to say something to keep the peace; know when NOT to say something to keep the peace; make a joke about the situation to "keep peace"; to remember to practice Random Acts of Kindness (especially before & after work! :D)so that others will remember what I did for them and pass it along.. find inner strength to keep peace in our house especially this year as my husband just got laid off and things will be understandably stressful. Well, that's about it, or enough? lol.Best Wishes this New Year!EclecticDiana
